Is there a pre-trained word2vec model in french language ? The must would be to get it with an api that let me finetune it easily. I was thinking of gensim but can't find such a model in french language.

You could try one of Facebook's published pre-trained FastText models: https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/crawl-vectors.html

Their text versions, with just whole-word vectors, can be loaded as read-only KeyedVectors instances in Gensim. Their full binary models can be loaded as a FastText model that (technically) supports additional training, but I've never seen a reliable writeup on how to do such fine-tuning in standard models.

If you think you need to do fine-tuning, maybe you should just train your own model, which in its training set includes all the words/senses you need, from the start?
